A Streamlined Landscape Design Service for Small Works Projects
Not every landscape project needs the same level of complexity — but every project deserves clarity, thoughtful design, and a high-quality outcome.
At Fifth Season Landscapes, we specialise in residential landscape design and construction in Sydney, from full-scale pool and garden projects to more focused upgrades. Over time, we’ve seen a growing demand for a streamlined landscape design service for smaller projects — one that delivers strong design direction without extensive documentation.
This has led to our Streamlined Design Service for Small Works Projects.
Designed for smaller landscape projects with a clear scope
This service is tailored for small landscape projects up to $50k, where the scope is well defined and the works fall within exempt development guidelines. These projects often include garden upgrades, outdoor living improvements, or landscape works that sit alongside interior renovations.
By aligning the design process with the scale of the project, we’re able to keep things efficient, considered, and focused — without compromising design quality.
Same design thinking, different structure
This is not a reduced-quality service.
Clients receive the same design thinking, experience, and attention to detail that underpins all Fifth Season landscape projects. The difference lies in how the design is delivered — structured to suit smaller scopes while still providing:
- Clear landscape and garden design direction
- Considered materials and planting selections
- Budget guidance aligned with the scope of works
- A clear pathway from concept through to construction
The result is a resolved landscape design that feels intentional and well considered.
Supporting confident decisions early
A key part of this service is helping clients make informed decisions early in the process. During the concept design stage, we work closely with you to understand priorities, manage budgets, and confirm whether approvals are required.
Where a project remains within exempt development, it can progress smoothly under this structure. If additional approvals such as a CDC or DA are identified, we advise on the next steps and transition the project to our more detailed landscape design pathway — ensuring the right level of documentation and support.
When this approach works best
This service is well suited to:
- Clearly defined small works landscape projects
- Exempt development garden and outdoor upgrades
- Clients seeking clarity and efficiency without complexity
For larger or more complex projects, our detailed landscape design services remain the recommended pathway.
A considered approach to small works
Our streamlined landscape design service reflects how we work: thoughtful, transparent, and tailored to the project at hand. It provides clarity early, supports confident decision-making, and ensures every project — regardless of size — benefits from a considered design process.
If you’re planning a small landscape project in Sydney and would like to explore whether this service is the right fit, we’d be happy to talk it through.
